    ..The derivation depends on Hadamard conjugation, and hence is limited to the simple symmetric models of Kimura and of Jukes and Cantor. Preliminary testing has demonstrated the accuracy of QAML is close to that of ML...

    ..53 and 1.17). Importantly, the latter rate is not statistically different from our estimate of the mutation rate. These results are in contrast to the view that molecular rates are time dependent...
